Should I just keep asking???

[Tall Chai Latte]

As I mentioned before, I would like to stay in my current rotation lab for my degree. I got a positive comments from the boss man himself, did the presentation, interacting well with the other group members etc, but I haven't heard the magic word. Though the boss man promised to get back to me as soon as possible, he is away attending a conference for the whole week this week. Now what?? Do I keep emailing and ask him what his decision is? Now it's the time to plan the third rotation should the need become necessary...

I think it is OK for you to write a super polite email asking about his decision. I am sure he understands. You may mention about the approaching deadline of a new lab rotation decision or something like that

Goodluck chai!

I second beanbagchairs. A polite reminder would be ok I think.

From what I can tell, professors like polite reminders. They just have too many deadlines realistically to keep caught up on all of them without our help.
